Web design for students, priced for a student budget.
A personal site gives recruiters, professors, and admissions readers one place to see your work. Northframe designs a custom one for students, built around your projects and kept under your own name.
What a student site needs
Most student sites do a small number of jobs, and do them well. Visitors should see your strongest work first, understand who you are in a few lines, and know how to reach you.
- Your best projects, each with a short description of what you made and your part in it.
- A resume or experience section that reads quickly on a phone.
- Clear contact details and links to profiles such as GitHub or LinkedIn (see portfolio website vs LinkedIn for how the two work together).
- A layout that works on phones, because links are often opened there first.
One page, done properly
The Launch package is a single custom-designed page: projects, resume, and a contact section. It is deliberately small, which is what keeps the price low and the result focused. How much a student website costs compares it with the other options.
If you have case studies, a freelance side business, or a lot of work to show, the Presence package adds up to three pages, a contact form, and SEO and analytics setup. The student portfolio website checklist helps you decide what goes on the page.
It stays yours after graduation
Your domain is registered in your name, the finished code is yours to keep, and hosting and analytics live under your own login. The site is not tied to a school account or a template platform, so it still works for you after you leave campus. The package price is paid once, and running a website without a monthly fee explains the small yearly costs that remain.

Common questions
Is Launch only for students?
No, anyone can get it. Launch is $49 for students and $99 for everyone else. It is built for one-page portfolios and resumes, so if your project is something else, such as a creator site or an organization, Presence or Business is usually a better fit.
Do I need finished text and photos before I start?
No. The first step of the process is agreeing goals, pages, and content before any design starts, so you can begin with rough notes and a list of projects.
Can I change the site myself later?
Yes. The finished site is yours to keep, host, and change. Northframe sets hosting up under your login, so you are not dependent on the studio to keep it online.

A project request takes a few minutes, costs nothing, and does not commit you to anything. You can also compare the packages first.
